This pump is amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this breast pump to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. As a parent, I always want what is best for my kids. I also want products that make life a little easier, well I found it. This is the holy grail of a breast pump. I have never expressed more milk in my life! I have tried all of the top breast pumps on the market and this is by far my favorite. It was so incredibly easy to use. I was able to find the perfect setting for myself in one session, which is a miracle! It is very comfortable to use and no pain whatsoever. The battery pack is a lifesaver so I am not tied up next to an outlet for 15-20 minutes a session. One thing I really liked about this pump was how quiet it is. I am able to pump in the middle of the night and not wake up my spouse who is right next to me. I highly recommend this pump to moms that need a super easy to use, quiet, and very effective pump!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Happy pumping!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with my Pump in Style with Max Flow breast pump. It comes with pre-programmed settings which takes the guess work out of pumping! I was able to find the setting that was most comfortable and that my body seemed to respond to best. I was impressed that I was able too pump my usual pump volume in a shorter period of time than what I am used to with my old pump. It wasn’t difficult to clean which is a plus for a working mama! I am so happy that the pump now comes with a 21mm Breast shield (I used to have to buy it separately) and the flexible rim is much more comfortable than the previous model. I appreciate it being a closed system so the tubing stays clean! It is super quiet and it’s small size make it very portable. And I love the stylish yet low key bag! I received the Pump in Style with Max Flow from the Stellar Product Testing panel.

Awesome and Powerful little Breast Pump
on September 7, 2020

The Pump in Style with Max Flow is a great option for cordless or corded pumping. I love that you have the option to go cordless so you don't have to be stuck to an outlet and the pump is small enough, it is easy to carry around. I found it did very well at expressing my milk and the controls were simple and easy to use with a brief look at manual. They had different size breast shields so you can fit it to the best size for your breast, which I found very helpful. I do love that the tubing was a single tube that you could very easily adjust to pump two breast or just one. So, simple and convenient...no more trying to hook up two cords!
I love the carrying bag that comes with the pump, it is very stylish and they have an awesome carry pack for the bottles with a fitted ice pack that holds 4 bottles. Super awesome for when you are out and about and don't have a fridge to keep them cold. I loved that the bottle stand actually was tight enough to hold the bottles upright....because I always have trouble with rambunctious toddlers and spilled milk, so that was a small but awesome detail. The pump was also really easy to clean, so two thumbs up! My only complaint is that the pump takes 8 AA batteries, which is a ton and it would be nice if they would come up with a rechargeable battery pack instead but that could also add to the ease of use if you are in a jam and you just need to grab some batteries at the store; could be a positive or negative.
Overall, I would definitely purchase this product again.
This product was received in exchange for an honest review through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Works Well But Noisy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pumped worked well. I love that it was a closed system. It expressed milk quickly and was comfortable. The accessories were nice; I especially liked that it came with a bag to carry the pump. The small size of the pump was very convient. It came with a wall plug in and a battery pack which was a great added bonus. The only downside was that the pump was quite loud. Overall it is a good option as long as you don't require a silent pump. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this breast pump

Comfortable & Portable
on September 7, 2020
Posted by: Sylvia

I have been exclusively pumping for 10 months so I have a bit of experience with pumps. There is so much to consider when finding the right pump but I think the most important is comfort. This pump is by far the most comfortable pump I have ever used. At times I would think that this pump’s suction isn’t strong because it didn’t hurt or cause any discomfort, but the Pump in Style with Max Flow has great suction! The various settings helped remove milk with no issues, and the pump itself is super easy to use. The only thing I would change would be an indicator of some sort so I would know what level I was on while pumping. The pump comes with Medela bottles that have a removable base so you can actually set it down with the flanges attached and it won’t tip over! This small detail I wish I had sooner so I wouldn’t have to cry over spilled milk! The bottles & flanges are easy to clean as well. Another huge bonus is the size of this pump, it’s small and compact and I can actually fit it into my purse, (although the pump comes with its own bag and cooler plus ice pack). It is not bulky at all. I am so thankful to Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me my new favorite pump!

A Breakthrough in Pump Technology
on September 7, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE the Medela Pump in Style with Max Flow. It is packed full of helpful features and thoughtful details that make me wonder how I ever used a different pump. Absolutely everything a pumping mother will need is included in the set, and it's clear that it was designed with the working mother in mind.
The pump itself comes with a power adapter and a battery pack. The battery pack is a wonderful feature if you're using it on the road, or if you don't have access to a designated pumping room at work with no guaranteed power outlet. The pump is also small and compact and fits perfectly in the included carrying bag.
The set comes with two breast shield sizes and a sizing guide to help you determine which size you need. The shields are also lined with a soft rubber material around the flanges, making them so much more comfortable than the all-plastic ones. The set also includes 4 bottles, not 2, like other sets do. It comes with a cooler pack that can fit all 4 bottles plus a perfectly molded ice pack to nestle the 4 bottles securely in the cooler. Yellow disc-shaped bottle holders are also included, which helps stabilize the bottles while you're disassembling the unit when you're done pumping. No more spilled breast milk!
All of these great accessories fit perfectly in the carrying bag. The bag is roomy and has a flat bottom which helps to stabilize those full bottles for the journey home at the end of the day. This pump set is literally everything a working, pumping mother needs!
Another nice feature of this pump is that it is quieter than other ones I have used. It is also very easy to disassemble for cleaning. It's nice to not have to wrestle with getting tight-fitting valves off of the bottle when you're trying to not spill everything you've just worked so hard to pump! But there is a down side to the easy-to-remove membrane as well. Milk sometimes gets trapped in the grooves of the membranes and it's not so easy to shake it out into the bottle. I had supply issues with my first child and I've always wanted to save every drop that I pump, so I hate to not be able to shake everything I've pumped back into the bottle.
One other small drawback is that the connectors that join the bottle to the breast shields are not transparent and you can't see the milk coming out. It's a small thing, but hard to get used to when you'd like to see the milk that you're pumping!
I received this pump to test through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and it's been a lifesaver. I've had a few out of town doctor appointments with my older child that have taken me away from my baby for most of the day. To be able to carry this pump with me and not have to worry if I'll be able to find a power outlet in order to pump has taken a lot of pressure off of these trips. And to be able to fit everything conveniently in one bag is great for a busy mom on the go!

A great pump!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this breast pump. There are so many things I love about this pump. First, the small size makes it so much easier to carry around. Plus I love the stylish carry bag it came with! Something else I really appreciated was the fit of the breast shields—they have a soft outer rim that, combined with the shape, make them so much more comfortable. This is a little thing—but I really appreciated the bottle stands the set came with too. They make me feel way less anxious about accidentally spilling milk I just pumped. The pump preset vacuum/speed settings are great and this pump is very efficient—I would typically only pump about 15 minutes at a time and felt like the milk expressed during that time was sufficient. The only thing I wish that the pump had was a timer so I could see how much time had passed/how long I have pumped. Overall, this is a fantastic pump and I’m very grateful to have it!

Very Efficient and Convenient

I am on baby number three and am no stranger to the woes of breast pumps. While I don't imagine any circumstance where pumping is "stylish", I have been very impressed with the quality and style of the "Pump in Style Max Flow". It is incredibly simple to put together and cleaning it is a breeze! I love that I can use the breast pump away from an outlet (hello, pumping during the commute!). I have been amazed how efficient it is, as well. I don't know if the vibrations or the pre-programmed settings make the difference, but I am able to express more milk in a shorter amount of time. It is pretty quiet, as well. All in all, this breast pump is the best I've tried. It comes with a carrying bag and cooler, which is a great bonus! I was given this breast pump to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
